The Norris School District board received a final update from the fundraising committee on the Titan Activities Complex. Fundraising co-chairs Corey and Jennifer were recognized for volunteer leadership; administrators reported $648,407.73 in private donations and $182,614.50 in grant dollars, producing a total of $831,022.42 in project funding to date.

Administrators told trustees some pledges remain outstanding and that the foundation’s cash balance is held at First State Bank; staff said they will reconcile the foundation ledger with tracked pledge records and continue to accept donations while the fundraising process remains open. The board asked that the committee produce a written final report and archive materials so future boards and committees can reference activities, outcomes and lessons learned.

Trustees and staff discussed how fundraising dollars will interact with future construction bids and possible partnerships; administration noted a potential community partner (NextEra Energy) has expressed interest in supporting district initiatives.

Next steps include final reconciliation of outstanding pledges, an archived summary for the district newsletter and continued updates to the board as the project progresses.
